目的:探讨锁骨骨折术后内固定失败的手术治疗效果。方法:纳入2005年1月至2013年1月手术治疗的15例锁骨骨折术后内固定失败的患者,依据骨折分型、内固定失效时间以及内固定类型采用不同的治疗方法,对患者术后骨折愈合情况、肩关节功能、肩关节疼痛进行评价。结果:随访时间5~101个月,平均43.8个月,所有患者的骨折均愈合。患侧肩关节Constant评分为82~100分,平均93.3分;健侧肩关节Constant评分为85~100分,平均96.7分,双侧相比差异有统计学意义(P=0.02)。随访时有8例患者的患侧肩关节没有疼痛,而另外7例存在不同程度的轻度疼痛,视觉模拟评分法(visual analogue scale,VAS)评分为1~3分,患侧和健侧VAS评分的差异有统计学意义(P=0.03)。结论:锁骨骨折术后早期内固定失败的原因是内固定稳定性不佳,可通过更换内固定治疗,而晚期失败是由骨折不愈合所引起,萎缩性骨不连应使用锁定钢板进行桥接固定并使用自体髂骨植骨,手术治疗可取得满意的疗效。
Objective: To investigate the surgical treatment results of implant failure after clavicular fracture open reduction and internal fixation( ORIF). Methods: Fifteen cases from Jan. 2005 to Jan.2013 were treated surgically according to fracture classification,time of implant failure and implant type.The fracture union,shoulder function and pain were evaluated postoperatively. Results: All the patients had full follow-up for 5 to 101 months( mean: 43. 8 months). All the fractures were united well. The constant scores to assess the shoulder function were 82 to 100( mean: 93. 3 in the fracture side) and were 85 to 100( mean: 96. 7 in the uninjured side); statistically significant difference of the constant scores between the two sides was found(P = 0. 02). Eight cases did not have shoulder pain in the fracture side,while the other 7 cases had mild pain,The visual analogue scale( VAS) scores to evaluate shoulder pain were 1 to 3 in the fracture side,which were statistically different from those in the uninjured side(P = 0. 03). Conclusion: Implant instability causes early implant failure after clavicular fracture ORIF and re-fixation with stable implant is effective. Fracture nonunion leads to late implant failure,and bridging fixation using locking plate associated with bony autograft with iliac crest is a successful method to treat atrophy clavicular nonunion. Surgical treatment can bring good results.
